General Benchmarks Description
Power Consumption To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record mains power draw both when idle and while playing Far Cry 3
Temperature To emulate real-world usage scenarios, we record GPU core temperature both when idle and while playing Far Cry 3
Noise A PCE-318 meter is used to record noise levels when idle and while playing Far Cry 3

Notes

We're using the very latest drivers for the GeForce GTX 780 Ti and Radeon R9 290(X) GPUs. AMD's 290X has been benchmarked in both standard and uber modes.
